And tilled the soil; that men shall play as well
As work, and know what rest from labor means;
That love of beauty in the heart shall tell
That eyes are never blind to Nature’s scenes.
If Chickamauga means in Cherokee
A sluggish stream, this dam revives the dead,
Electrifies the soul of Tennessee,
And gives to industry a potent head.
